A chapter in the book Random Rhyme and Petty Prose
Keeping Track of Star Trek II:
by Bill Schott
I have recently been schooled on the finer elements of the Star Trek universe by one of our fellow Fanstorians. This person is obviously well-versed and deeply immersed in this topic and pointed out both my glaring errors and lack of proper descriptions of characters.
It reminded me of a conversation with my son-in-law when the topic of Star Wars came up. Once again, I presented myself as a fan and offered some of my knowledge of the movie series. Almost immediately, and with no mercy, I was inundated with characters, set details, backstories, nomenclatures of both Empire and Rebel weapons, and given a tour of a miniature Star Wars gallery of action figures, literature, and books on tape. This ended with my being shown tickets to the upcoming Motor City Comic Con.
I now realize that I am not a pimple on the ass of a true fan of anything.
